She wanted to take our newborn for a car ride without us to visit the other relatives that have "shunned" my wife from the religion/family. I immediately put a stop to the whole thought.

Tim: when I was still married to my ex, she used to dress up our 2 year old in his snowsuit and put him out in the driveway in the dark (it gets dark in winter hear in Canada around 4:30 - 5:00 p.m.) so her parents could pick him up and take him out and my ex wasn't even Disfellowshipped (never baptised). They refused to set foot in our house or even get out of their car to approach our front door when we had our Christmas tree up. This happened a few times and then one day I came home and my son was out in waste deep snow in the dark at the foot of our driveway. standing right behind a snowbank ALONE. When I went in and my ex had explained that this had been the procedure for 2 weeks since our tree was up, I asked "Why would you not go out in the driveway with him?" Her answer was that her parents were mad for having a Christmas tree in the house and did not wish to see her until she took it down.
I am so happy to be free of that craziness.

Waist deep in the snow...ALONE...three letters CYS...Child Youth Services. That type of crazyness is exactly what I am talking about. I understand that parents will do anything for their children, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. If my children's grandparents would place restrictions like that, they would NEVER see their grandchild.
I really appreciate the discussions tonight on this subject!

It's ironic you mention youth services because that is eventually how they came to live with me, unfortunately they had to go through years of bad situations before being removed.
